This is just the flip side of it - a guy who doesn't understand what YES means. I'd much rather deal with a guy who's confused about YES than a guy confused about NO. <BR/><BR/>I recently read an excerpt of an erotic romance in which the woman says NO, and the guys keeps at it because "he knows she doesn't mean it". Yuck. Thank you, not buying that book or the author's other books. <BR/><BR/>Very topical given the current brouhaha over the Rescue Me episode where the main character sexually assaults his estranged wife.<BR/>http://parentingpopculture.clubmom.com/parenting_pop_culture/2006/06/rescue_me_spark.html<BR/>http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2006/06/whats_your_take.htmlhornblowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428146299208610591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1151483174657496682006-06-28T04:26:00.000-04:002006-06-28T04:26:00.000-04:00PBW said:Let's just say that if I read one more no...PBW said:<BR/>Let's just say that if I read one more novel with a love scene during which the hero asks the heroine for her consent more than five times before he lays a finger on her, my head is going to explode.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hmm, sounds like they've taken the Antioch sexual consent policy to heart. ("3. Obtaining consent is an on-going process in any sexual interaction. Verbal consent should be obtained with each new level of physical and/or sexual contact/conduct in any given interaction, regardless of who initiates it. Asking "Do you want to have sex with me?" is not enough. The request for consent must be specific to each act." <A HREF="http://www.ejhs.org/volume1/conseapa.htm" REL="nofollow">Link.</A>)<BR/><BR/>It's crazy. "Yes" means YES, unless at some point somebody says NO. God, if any guy asked me more than five times if I was really, truly, totally, absolutely, positively <I>certain</I> I wanted to have sex with him, he'd be hightailing it out of the bedroom with a pair of bruised balls.Nonny Blackthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921408573581637909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1151467755332349482006-06-28T00:09:00.000-04:002006-06-28T00:09:00.000-04:00Well I was going to go with the S.O.T.I.L.S.

(Substituted B&Js for Haagen Daz) Jack's gonna have to practice his name if he wants to get any at this point. He lost me at, "'I want to make love,' Jack said, his voice quiet and thoughtful." At this point I'm thinking, "With who?" and looking around for whomever he's interested in, 'cause it sure as heck couldn't have been me with that approach.<BR/><BR/>So much for a little ditty about Jack and Diane. :)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805501348812702651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1151454658907937552006-06-27T20:30:00.000-04:002006-06-27T20:30:00.000-04:00LMAOMen that are even a 10th of that guy, make me ...LMAO<BR/><BR/>Men that are even a 10th of that guy, make me want to squish them beneath my shoe.

Men of mine never quadruple-checked consent, ever.
